Taught by Experience	comment	Some people learn by reading. Some people learn by observation. Some people learn off the telly. Then there are those who just have to grab the electric fence... The human mind is an interesting thing. When we put our hand on a hot burner or put a penny in a light socket, what's left of us tends to not want to do that anymore. We learn from our mistakes. Characters in a story usually begin their journey with little actual experience in the real world. Somewhere along the way, they figure out how to manage. There is usually something either said or implied that being in a constant life or death situation has forced them to find some way to survive. By default, they usually become damn good at it. When the time for action has come, the time for preparation has passed. Sometimes your Training from Hell is not enough. Other times you have no training whatsoever. This is often how someone Took a Level in Badass. Some are so good at this that they have Awesomeness by Analysis, maybe to the point of being an Instant Expert. Maybe, somewhere along the line, they learned Mortal Kombat. This is a staple of MacGyvering, in that the devices they make work because they have to. The Crazy-Prepared person is either this way because of past experience, or because they want to avoid the bruises associated with it. And this is implied with a person who has Seen It All — they have experienced it personally. Truth in Television: want to learn German, live in Germany. Want to learn Japanese, go to Japan. Regularly communicating in the native language in order to pay for transportation, food, rent, etc. is more efficient than a couple hours several times a week in a classroom. If you're wrong, you don't get what you need. A mundane version of Die or Fly, in other words. That said, formal teaching is still useful to cover situations and areas that do not turn up every day, to spot errors or to correct bad habits. Both kinds of "hard work" drill in the knowledge. There is a good reason why a leader needs to know what it is like at ground zero. In Video Games, especially RPGs, this is what they are trying to simulate with Experience Points, especially in the more complicated leveling methods where performing an action repeatedly gives you more points to allocate to that skill area. See also the Sorting Algorithm of Evil. Compare/contrast Hard Work Hardly Works, The Only Way They Will Learn, Necessary Fail, Sink or Swim Mentor, Book Dumb, Wax On, Wax Off, and Well-Trained, but Inexperienced. This is almost always part of the background of a Uncertified Expert. Examples

If you hinder or defeat him, you can be damn sure whatever method you used wonâ€™t work again, as heâ€™ll have accounted for it. Billy defeats him with a magic gauntlet? The first thing he does upon returning is destroy said gauntlet. His Morphic Resonance gives away his disguises too often? He hides it by killing Billy and wearing his skin. Prismo interferes with his plans and aids Finn and Jake? He just waits until he gets an opening, then kills Prismoâ€™s physical body so the heroes canâ€™t go to him for help again. Thereâ€™s no second chances with this guy. Only the Blood of a Guardian and his good half Sweet Pea were able to take him down permanently.

When she and San are introduced to sparring with other Titans, Vivienne solves problems and works out what she needs to do via trial and error. Colonel Foster thinks that she didn't take the Monarch scientists seriously enough during the events of Godzilla: King of the Monsters (2019), events which saw a literal apocalypse because of the government and military's choice to launch the Oxygen Destroyer rather than listen to Monarch. As far as Foster is concerned, the events of King of the Monsters proved that the monster experts should always be taken seriously on the matters which they were founded to understand. This trope is specifically the reason why Tejada and Tarkan are selected to be part of the torch-and-bury operation against Alan Jonah's paramilitary's artificial zombies. Tejada has accumulated extensive experience beating back the zombies, while Tarkan has past experience combating Jonah himself.

During the final battle with Sinister in issue 17, upon watching Sabretooth's frontal assault on Sinister being effortlessly defeated by a force field or energy blast, Laura's own attack is much more successful; she ambushes him instead and pins his foot to the catwalk he's standing on from below.

However, you absorb fate (you can Screw Destiny in a world where fate rules all) when you kick ass. In other words, killing an enemy makes you gain XP from combat and also absorb their fate (what they could become if you didn't kill them.) and can use that fate to increase your skills (from Alchemy to Stealth and also combat moves) giving an in-universe reason for the player learns through ass-kicking.

Being unfamiliar with its methods, he decided to wrap Ranma in bacon and sausage and throw him into a bin filled with starving cats. Ranma learned nothing (at least at first) and in fact gained a case of ailurophobia because of it. It was later shown that he did learn Cat Fu but has to go into a psychotic break-down from his ailurophobia to reach it unconsciously. On a funny note, it didn't teach Genma anything, as he tried to "cure" Ranma's phobia by throwing him in the bin again (this time with sardines).

Taught by Experience / int_1cc8e29f	comment	The Drifter from Destiny is a rogue Guardian who's spent centuries exploring the solar system and surviving however he can. Those years of adventure have left him with a treasure trove of experience, and he frequently tries to impart that knowledge onto you, such as advising you on which animals are safe to eat or how to make shelter out of enemy equipment. This is implied to be the case for all Guardians, having lost their memories but been granted Resurrective Immortality. The "Zavala's Prelude" cinematic trailer shows Zavala's first few battles as a new Guardian, getting killed each time, but always fighting better in the next.

His various fights also help him pick up patterns and weaknesses in people's fighting styles and powers. However, he once got curb-stomped by Motoharu Tsuchimikado, who mocked him and said self-taught street fighting skills cannot compete with elite martial arts training. However, Touma goes through so many life-threatening situations that he outright gains a sense of precognition within fights which allows him to effectively parry anything he needs to with Imagine Breaker or dodge anything that it can't. He does briefly consider getting actual fight training but ultimately decides against it, feeling that part of what makes him special and separates him from the many, MANY incredible forces in the Indexverse, is that he has no actual training.

He worked as an admissions officer at Columbia University's medical school and audited every class multiple times, and so had a large understanding of the textbooks and medical theory. But he never actually worked with patients or was actually trained to do certain procedures, not to mention didn't even have a medical license. Sneaking around that limitation is what led to House figuring out his secret. House ends up firing him but not because of the deception but because his opinions and ideas were too similar to House, which the latter doesn't want in an assistant.

Ruby in particular is shown to have gained fancier uses of her semblance, including being able to pick up her teammates. After a while, the rest of her team and Oscar join her, prompting them to learn the same way. By the time they reach Atlas, theyâ€™re already skilled enough that General Ironwood grants them their Huntsmen licenses, despite the fact that none of them had finished their school training at Beacon. This trope is also in play when the protagonists reconcile with Ozpin in Season 8. Upon finding out the Awful Truth about Salem's Complete Immortality, everyone raged at Ozpin for hiding it, and dismiss his excuses that he didn't want them to fall to despair and hopelessness. Then, when they tell Ironwood, he actually does fall to despair and hopelessness, and drags the entire kingdom of Atlas down with him. While Ozpin admits he should have trusted them more, they admit trust isn't as straightforward as they thought. This unfortunately is not the case with General Ironwood. His failure at stopping the fall of Beacon did not result in any of the criticisms Ozpin has about his leadership style to stick. Instead, Ironwood doubled down on all of his bad habits in the safety and comfort of his home kingdom. The end result is that when he's facing Salem for real, he falls to pieces and dooms his kingdom.

He says it's because he thinks he'll never be as good an adventurer as Babar and Heropotamus are, that they never make mistakes. Babar explains that the two of them are good adventurers because they've adventured for so long and made a lot of mistakes, which they've learned from.

As an interesting contrast, his best friend and fellow med school graduate Turk jumps right into the "learn by doing" philosophy, but makes certain mistakes at the start and isn't always as good as he imagines himself to be. Dr. Cox has to (unwillingly) become J.D.'s mentor and role model and trick/force him to work on patients before J.D. starts getting real experience and learning how to become a good doctor.

Their problems stem from the fact that the one person who they had to take on from the original park having a change in allegiances, and his creation being a Bioweapon Beast explicitly meant to be incredibly smart and able to endure military-grade weapons.

Taught by Experience / int_41b0198a	comment	The Dresden Files: Harry Dresden's magical (and mundane) arsenal changes between books from his observations of what works and what doesn't. After getting his left hand burnt into uselessness because his shield spell stops matter and kinetic energy but not heat, he devises a new shield that stops just about everything (including heat, light, electricity, most sorts of magic, etc.)note He notes that he could have made his original shield do that, but it was expensive to make and seemed like overkill, in addition to requiring significantly more magical energy to use. By the time he upgrades, his magical muscles, so to speak, are much stronger and able to withstand the higher energy drain. After seeing Elaine's taser-chain trick in White Night, he comes up with his own version for when fire magic isn't such a good idea. Oh, and teaching his apprentice how to do magic gives him a LOT of ideas, such as changing his massive blast of wind spell to a much more subtle "hairdryer" spell. He starts using his kinetic force ring early on: it's a powerful ring that store energy every time he moves his arm, and that energy can be released for a powerful "punch", but there's no control over the energy; it's "use it once and move on" at best. In later books, he's upgraded his ring to three loops, each independently capable of being triggered, and he wears one on each hand, for a total of six punches, and each of those punches hits with far more force than his original ring. He's also decided that rather than just wait for the rings to charge up over time from normal movements, he'll spend some time at a punching bag to charge them up in the course of a day. He also stopped using his wind spell, ventas servitas, after the first few books. According to the author, this is because while wind is flashy and impressive, force magic (his forzare spell) is much more effective and versatile in almost any situation. One good example of this trope in action, that might be easy to miss: In White Night, the opponent turns off all the lights, so Harry does what any wizard would do: he calls up a supernatural light. However, this just makes him a target for the baddies, who immediately attack him, which was the the aim of the blackout in the first place. Two books later in Turn Coat, another baddie tries the same tactic in a room full of White Council wizards, and Harry is one of the few wizards not to call up light and make himself a target. The advantage was demonstrated in Skin Game. Hannah is a powerful mage, who can work fire magic much better then Harry. However, in combat, she turns out to be much less effective than Harry because despite raw magical talent, she doesn't know how to adjust her tactics on the fly, and she commits everything to offense without knowing how to defend herself. Harry clearly states that she isn't in his league as a fighter because she hasn't learned from fighting in real battles as he has, and just uses raw power to try to knock out her opponents. This bites her on the ass when she turns on him, as she's so focused on killing him with overwhelming flames that she doesn't notice that he's using his shield to redirect the blast of fire upwards and superheat the rock above her head. Sure enough, when enough heat has been applied, she ends up buried alive by thousands of tons of rock, and Harry has barely broken a sweat. Enemies that Harry faces start to note when they're going up against him too often, because he can and will find new ways to learn and exploit their blindspots. When he first runs into the Denarians in Death Masks, he's severely out of his league and only rescue by the efforts and sacrifices of others. By the time the Denarians show up again, Harry knows enough to outmaneuver and almost successfully kill Nicodemus, the most dangerous Denarian of all, and when that characters shows up again, it's to make Harry an ally rather than attempt to fight him.

Jin (who is a classically trained samurai) even notes how his style is impractical, yet is one of the few men Jin could not kill easily. Mugen made mention that he grew up in very violent conditions, (living in a prison colony and being a prisoner himself) which forced him to figure out that style on his own. It works for him. In the final two-parter, the two face off against Kariya. Mugen goes first and Kariya notes that while his movement make his swordplay unpredictable it leaves too many openings that a trained swordsman can easily get through. Adding that Mugen needs to learn to adapt more in certain conditions. In the final battle he takes this to heart which allows him to off Umanosuke by using his scythe against him. Conversely, Jin faces off against another classically trained samurai who is better at the style than Jin himself. This leads to a breaking with the style in order to triumph.

Taught by Experience / int_5908ee91	comment	In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, the Dragonborn's skills are treated this way in-universe - your skills are honed when you train with a mentor or read on the subject, but most of your skill growth comes from applying those skills to someone's face. Every time the Dragonborn swings a sword or casts a spell, they learn how to do it a little better. Actually, this is common to all main-line The Elder Scrolls games released after Daggerfall. It wasn't until Bethesda branched out and started developing Fallout games that they returned to using Experience Points for character progression. Enderal is more RPG-based, as your character needs to spend their skill points with educational self-study, and does not gain proficiency by repeatedly using the same skills. However, your character starts out as a stowaway with no trade skills or combat experience and turns into a badass in mere days by killing a few scrubs and reading a few books. Your character's fast exp gain is lampshaded and justified as a side-effect of becoming a magically augmented champion.

However, he sometimes relies on this trope a bit too much — he will often have his equipment Unfinished, Untested, Used Anyway and will generally not plan ahead: Iron Man: He forgoes the thorough safety inspection on his Mark II suit and as a result faces the "icing problem" during a test flight and nearly plummets to his death.

However, this just makes him a target for the baddies, who immediately attack him, which was the the aim of the blackout in the first place. Two books later in Turn Coat, another baddie tries the same tactic in a room full of White Council wizards, and Harry is one of the few wizards not to call up light and make himself a target.

Characters would come across a problem, spend a whole episode dealing with it, and then end with them saying, "Okay, now we don't let that happen in the future." For example, invisible aliens took control of the Stargate, because they'd found out the passwords by spying on the base. At the end of the episode, hand scans were put into the protocol. This adaptability was a major reason humanity became very powerful very quickly.

Sozin's comet gives them added incentive. On another note, this is the reason Toph Beifong learned metalbending — because she really wanted to get out of a metal box. Aang, however, is a special case of this trope. The Avatar gets reincarnated repeatedly but with a different element each time but the same skill (muscle AND mental memory). It's less Aang learning but REMEMBERING all the skill from his past lives. He's being taught by experience. His own. Over MULTIPLE lifetimes.

He even cites this as a strength of his in Sonic Forces after managing to put up a decent fight against Infinite, whose Establishing Character Moment was curb-stomping Sonic and nearly killing him. After a few games in a row of trying to control more powerful beings (Chaos, Shadow, Metal Overlord, Solaris, Dark Gaia, etc.) only to fail and be betrayed by them, Dr. Eggman becomes much more careful with future villainous alliances and/or attempts to control creatures stronger than him. He keeps the Time Eater from Generation under absolute domination at all times, personally disposes of the unstable Infinite before he can cause problems in Forces, and Sonic Lost World sees him only try to use the Zeti as weapons after he gets a Restraining Bolt for them (they end up turning on him, but only because Sonic unwittingly destroys said bolt).

Eventually, he became a master of the Indy Ploy and almost every other entry on the Gambit Index, as well as exploiting the fact that he has a time machine with incredible resources. Nowadays, if the Doctor is acting like he has no idea what's going on, chances are it's Obfuscating Stupidity.

Usually, neither Adam, Jamie, Tory, Grant, nor Kari will have any formal education in the subjects they delve into and tend to learn as they go. They have little trouble finding experts on the topic at hand, but usually only use them to get a handle on what they're dealing with and to gain whatever information they need to set up their experiments. Said experts will even often already know the answer to the question they are trying to answer, but that information is typically only called upon after the Mythbusters have tried answering it themselves, either to further confirm their findings or as a backup, in case their experiments go awry.

While protagonist Hanamichi Sakuragi grows a little with each match, his growth is mostly showcased at three specific points: first, in the practice match against Ryonan, he scores and puts Shohoku ahead on the scoreboard towards the end, but there's still some time left and Sendoh goes back and turns it around, resulting in a loss for Shohoku. Later, in the Kanagawa finals, even after scoring a dunk that puts Shohoku ahead by four points (pretty much securing their victory), he tells everyone to pull back and defend their basket because Sendoh could score again (showing that he learned from his mistake in the practice match). Lastly, in the Shohoku vs Sannoh match, the situation is reversed, Sawakita puts Sannoh ahead with ten seconds left, but Sakuragi doesn't give up and runs ahead for one last attack (in other words, he does the same as Sendoh did in the practice match), and sure enough, he ends up scoring a buzzer-beater that gives Shohoku the victory.

As the series progresses, he gradually gets sharper and more creative with his methods, both in training and battling his PokÃ©mon ("Use Pikachu" and "If that doesn't work, use more Pikachu" won't solve all of his problems). Ironic as he kept using Pikachu on Team Rocket, despite them using something that's shockproof (which they've done since, what, the fifth time he faced them?) As Meowth pointed out in one episode, "You'd think he'd learn by now".

Taught by Experience / int_da73d677	comment	The Quest for Glory series both subverts and plays this one straight. In the first game, you get to define the abilities your character starts with, and each class has specific skills that can or cannot be used. The only way to increase skill in something is to use that skill (which makes sense: you get better at climbing by climbing stuff, better at swordplay by swinging your sword, and so on). The subversion comes later in the series, starting with the third game, where the Thief character can be taught the acrobatics skill and immediately becomes proficient in it within seconds (though not necessarily good at it, that takes practice). In the fourth game, Fighter and Paladin characters can read a book and instantly learn how to climb. Mages subvert this from the first game: finding a magic scroll and reading it instantly imparts the spell to the mage, although it is at a low skill level. At least half of every game in the series (there are five) is spent just practicing your skills. The skill level system itself is very vague. Having 10 points in Weapon Use means you can use your weapon, but you'll miss a lot, whereas having 100 points (in the first game, at least) means you'll rarely miss...but you'll still miss occasionally. Generally speaking, it's possible to complete the game with low skill levels (depending on the skill and the character, of course), but certainly not recommended. Getting that Last Lousy Point in a particular game can also be a frustrating experience since skills level up slower as they reach the Level Cap. Quest For Glory 5 completely subverts the skill system, however: as long as you're the right class, you can do anything in which you have skill. The numerical values mean very littlenote In addition to skills in the fifth game getting pared down from about 20 to about 12, the skills only reflect how effective you are at something, or in other words, how much damage you do. Hitting someone with a sword with good Offense ability does more damage than using that same sword with lower Offense ability. Defense means you take less damage. The most important skill for Wizards is their individual spell skill levels, which directly translate into more damage: one particular enemy, the Centaur Wizard, can be blown up with a Trigger spell, but doing so prevents you from getting a unique spell. In order to kill the Centaur Wizard otherwise, you have to use the Frostbite spell, but if it's not sufficiently leveled, the Wizard will regenerate HP faster than you can inflict damage.

Wesley defines his Took a Level in Badass from this trope. His first appearance on Buffy had him as an arrogant rookie from the "Watchers" academy (which wasn't too much different than what Giles was in the first season). By the third season of Angel he grew a permanent five day beard and while not as strong as The Hero, he was a fairly badass smart guy. Gunn learned this way before we even met him. He led an urban vampire hunting team made up entirely of local gangs. He had apparently been doing it for years and has had a relatively high life expectation compared to the better-funded Watchers council and even the various Slayers. Buffy herself. With every passing season, she gets more experience in dusting vampires and other nasties, which means it gets easier and she becomes capable of more. She goes from having trouble with 2-3 vampires in Season 1 to killing 20 at once with a giant stake in Season 5.

Taught by Experience / int_e556181c	comment	The advantage was demonstrated in Skin Game. Hannah is a powerful mage, who can work fire magic much better then Harry. However, in combat, she turns out to be much less effective than Harry because despite raw magical talent, she doesn't know how to adjust her tactics on the fly, and she commits everything to offense without knowing how to defend herself. Harry clearly states that she isn't in his league as a fighter because she hasn't learned from fighting in real battles as he has, and just uses raw power to try to knock out her opponents. This bites her on the ass when she turns on him, as she's so focused on killing him with overwhelming flames that she doesn't notice that he's using his shield to redirect the blast of fire upwards and superheat the rock above her head. Sure enough, when enough heat has been applied, she ends up buried alive by thousands of tons of rock, and Harry has barely broken a sweat.

Taught by Experience / int_e67a7d6c	comment	Generally, most of the cast in Negima! Magister Negi Magi opt for Training from Hell (with the occasional Awesome by Analysis). The former private soldier Mana Tatsumiya, on the other hand, thanks to a youth spent in combat, can boast the skills and instincts above what the rest of the warrior-heavy class have managed, befitting a mercenary of her ability. Evangeline also counts, having learned to use magic and her vampiric abilities at age ten, then going from there. Jack Rakan. His general attitude tends to make people think that he's just naturally strong and talented, and has never had to really work for his wins. Nothing could be further from the truth: he was an ordinary boy who was in near-constant combat for over forty years, and he achieved his current power through sheer effort and practice. Negi realizes there's really not a whole lot that could catch Jack off-guard; since the guy has seen every trick in the book. After Negi's and Rakan's match, some of the fans started quarreling about who was better. A fight broke out. Onlookers started betting on the outcome. The draw had the highest stake.

The prequel series Year One shows the readers how he acquired the experience, knowledge and skills that we know he's already got in the present. For example, when he tells the guild's adventurers that he won't be able to take on a hundred of goblins in an open field in the present series, we get to see him almost dying dealing with 25 normal goblins in an open field in the prequel series.

Believing it hits the largest clump of units on the map, he builds a massive 9x9 "Mech Blob" of Green Earth units in the lower-right to bait it, but Sturm's Meteor Strike targets the most financially expensive 9 squares on the map and hitting $27000 worth of Mechs is never going to be the most expensive square of units when he's deploying air units that can cost almost that much each. Not once does he learn from this and that Mech Blob spends the entire battle unscathed as Sturm gleefully rocks the rest of his units over and over for the entire match, constantly interrupting his attack attempts much to the chagrin of poor Mangs and despite the chat literally screaming at him that he has how Meteor Strike works wrong.
